They wanna ruin AI like they ruined their Chocolate after they got bought out by that shite company Kraft?
Cadburys tastes like crap now the same way American chocolate does, such a bloody shame too :-(
I eat Tony’s now I find that nice, if a little expensive. They seem to be slavery free in their supply chain.
Unfortunately they're not 100% slavery-free as yet (it's a big production chain, and there's only so much one company can do) - however, they do have this Open Chain which makes the whole thing a bit more accountable. https://www.tonysopenchain.com/
I mean Kudos for owning up that they in part rely on child labour. Still horrible.
Ghiradelli (hard) and Sees (soft) are still pretty good, and they're American. We also have some decent local chocolate shops, depending on where you are.
Yet for some reason people seem to prefer crap like Hershey's.
Lindt ftw..

The best we can do is a 4th straight year of record profits
What has this got to do with chocolate?
Because it’s getting them engagement and is therefore a marketing campaign
No idea but all for it
I'm British (like Cadbury's), but I've never heard of a "5 star" bar. Is it what we call a "Star bar"?
I'd never heard of it either, but a web search finds a Wikipedia article, a few pictures and the implication that it's not sold in the UK.
Also, calling Cadbury "British" these days is a bit of a stretch. Yes, they were founded here and are still headquartered here, but they're now a multinational corporation owned by an American corporation.
And despite that American corporation being run by a Belgian, the quality has definitely gone in the American direction.
As an American, I apologize for our crappy chocolate. We do have decent brands (Ghiradelli and Sees, for example), but prime people seem to prefer crap like Hersheys.
5 star is very popular in India... Idk what the global counterparts are...
No, it appears to be a Mars bar clone. However the nouget is dark in photos, so it could be a chocolate flavour.
It might be relevant to point out that what constitutes a Mars bar differs depending on country. The US and UK are different, for example: Simple picture demonstration
The picture doesn't show what's in a US Mars bar, but apparently it has almonds in it, as though it's a Snickers just with a different kind of nut(?).
Whats in the noughat of Milky Way, is it almond/do you know?
I assumed it was just cheap whipped sugar with vanilla flavourings, but I have no idea.
Actually that sounds more like it haha
Weird stuff.
In India, 5 star has been around forever and was like a cheaper alternative to a Mars bar. They’ve also been known to do humorous advertising for 5 star over the years.
